Bush Administration has no 'Plan B' for Pakistan.


Raw Story:

"For the Bush administration, there is no Plan B for Pakistan."

Citing US officials operating in the Pakistan policy arena, this is the prognosis of veteran Washington Post reporters Robin Wright and Glenn Kessler in Sunday editions of the paper. The Post ran the story on page 24.

Kessler and Wright paint a US foreign policy unchanged by the assassination of erstwhile prime minister Benazir Bhutto, one aimed at propping up controversial strongman Pervez Musharraf -- and lone pro-US leader in the country -- with hundreds of millions of dollars in aid. Next year, the US will begin a five-year, $750 million plan intended to bring jobs and security to restive border regions.
